Use Data type C instead of STRING for WORD1

Hi,

Try using Datatype of Char instead of string.

Hope it solves out.

Thanks & Regards

word1 type string.

parameters: p_word1 type string.

word1 = p_word1.

n = STRLEN( p_word1 ).

WRITE:/ n

Hi,

Basically the parameter field to be displayed on screen must contain certain defined length.

if you take parameters type string it takes 256 char length.

to best of my knowledge

parameters p_word type char40.

data n type i.

n = strleng( P_word ).

try this out.

hi peter and avinash,

the data type string is not allowed with parameters,

it is giving error of deep data type.

yes, it seems to be a restriction with parameters

Re: string lenghth calculation.

Former Member — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:57:19 GMT

Hi,

As per my knowledge in 4.7c, we cann't declare string in the selection screen. Its the data type which cann't be used for the parameters or select-options.

I think you got to use char with the restricted length.

If wrong please correct me.

In ECC6.0 your declaration is valid and you can directly declare even "TYPE STRING" in the parameters.

There is a workaround for this:

Let ZTEST be your program in which parameter is defined.

Open this program in se51 with screen no 1000.

Double click input/output box of parameter in screen layoout.

Change defined from 132 to any value u like.

Note: Donot activate ztest in se38 again

Hi,

Try this...

DATA: n TYPE i.

parameters: p_word1 type string.

n = STRLEN( p_word1 ).

WRITE:/ n.

You may try using inline editor on Screen.

This will capture data in lines, you can add up string length of all lines.

hi all,

thnks all for ur valuable inputs...........

as one of the frnds suggested that string declaration is not allowed with parameters in 4.7,,i also think so................

string declaration with parameters may work in ecc 6.0...if any one of frnds finds its solution then please leave a reply ,

this thread for length calculation remains open..

thanks and regards
